Chris Hayes is a Millennial. He got into media from the world of progressive activism and eventually wrote for The Nation as their man in DC. He has an encyclopedic mind and argues that human attention has been sought for centuries. To get attention and to get respect are far different things, but in a pinch, we will settle for attention. Big Tech knows this and is creating new ways to mine our attention and sell our eyeballs to advertisers. It's making us crazy and stupid. But we can fight back.

@mouse Sounds a bit like Rebecca Solnit's style. Creative nonfiction.

First novel by one of my favorite singers for decades. Fingers crossed. Walk Like an Egyptian to get your copy. Just out April 23.

@loppear Looking forward to your reviews. He was one of my favorite travel writers. At a book signing during my single years he signed a book, "I hope you get the girl." Nice guy.

John Banion the firebrand right wing TV host asks the president a nasty question during a press conference. The next day, while golfing, he is abducted by aliens and "probed." His reaction is to convince the nation that many of us are being abducted. But the truth is even weirder. The Million-Alien March is 1/6 imagined two decades before it happened. Brilliant read. Should be a movie.
